My Favorite Things On My Desk – From Patty O'Brien!
My favorite thing on my desk is actually from my desk at home. It's a birthday card that I bought at least twenty years ago and has sometimes been used as a coaster. Still, the poem so resonates with me that I have never used the card for its intended purpose and I sometimes carry it with me as a reminder. Lately, it's been with me at the Franconia office where my very favorite "things" are all those who work with me. A bunch of smarty pants, they are, every single last one of them! So the conversations are always that much more stimulating, the laughter that much more heartier, and the camaraderie that much more deep.
I'd like to share this poem with you and there really isn't anything more that I could add.

Tips To Keep Your Home Warm This Winter
Winter isn't over yet! For many homeowners, keeping your home warm in the winter is one thing - keeping it warm in the most affordable and effective way possible is something else entirely. If you want to stay toasty inside and cut down on your utility bills at the same time, there are a few key things to keep in mind:
Windows and Doors
The first step you should take involves checking the seals around all of the windows and doors in your home for leaks. Leaky windows in particular let that cool air seep in when it shouldn't, which at best will make it more difficult to heat your house and at worst make it impossible to get the temperature where you want it. If you replace the caulk and are still having issues, consider upgrading to energy efficient replacements.

Hoist The Sale
This post was written by an agent in our Holderness office, Jerry Love.
Most real estate agents will admit that on most days the work they do and much of the time they spend at their work goes completely unnoticed and largely unappreciated. Paydays can be few and far between, and the hours in front of a computer, or behind the wheel of a car, can seem very unrewarding:
Then what is it that keeps agents doing what they do day after day, year after year? It's very simple really. It all about the people we meet and the places we go. Sounds like a Dr. Seuss book, doesn't it? Well, at times it can seem storyb...

My Favorite Things On My Desk – From Ray Newton!
As I take in all that is in my desk, it occurs to me how central this rather small, 24x36 inch surface is central to virtually everything I do in real estate. Of course there is the usual clutter: coffee cups, weeks old post it notes, folders waiting to be properly filed and more pens and pencils than I could ever possibly use. Periodically, these are cleared away and the essential items always remain.
Of these, the computer is always there and as with the lights, it is always turned on when I am at my desk. The other essential tools always at hand are my calendar and planner. Scheduling appointments, arranging showings and meeting deadlines can be a bit overwhelming at times, and I try to keep my schedule in several places. I know it is overkill, but I keep my schedule in several places. My planner, my desk c...
